How in the world do I get rid or eliminate the foamies? It drives me crazy. Every time a sip water or eat....here they come. Someone help!

Mine only come when I eat something I can't tolerate yet like steak, soft tortillas, and so forth. Sorry you're getting them with everything.

I had the foamies or slimies in my first couple of months, but like GradyCat above, I only got them as a consequence of eating things that my sleeve didn't tolerate or eating too much of something. I don't get them too much anymore. At this point, the most I get is maybe some extra thick saliva if I've overdone it a bit.

@Seb Palmer, if you're getting this with water, you might want to let your doctor know. It doesn't seem quite right that you're getting it with water (something that should pass pretty easy through your sleeve)

I'm about 5 weeks post op and I still get the foamies (or thick saliva) when I eat too much -- it's actually a good measuring tool for me because I'm still trying to figure out exactly how much I can/can't eat, and I'm absolutely terrible at eating slowly

PPI?

The foamies is disgusting. I wake up choking on foam and bile so I’m getting bypass from a sleeve. PPIs stopped working a year ago and caused enough bone loss for me to lose my $5,000 dental implant

Meaning your dr went back in and inserted a stint for 6 month?

proton p[ump inhibitor. like prevacid or Prilosec, basically omeprazole. it keeps the acid down in your stomach. I have to take them for the first year

A stint is a period of time. A stent is the thing they put in your tubes to keep them open ?

And a stunt is a dirty rotten trick someone pulls on You! Hope that helps straightening things out!???

I had the same issue a week after my surgery. I too realized that I needed to be sure I took the Prilosec (omeprazole) before eating. I took it almost as soon as I got out of bed each day and that worked for me. Note: My surgeon prescribed omeprazole to be taken twice daily.
